The only arguable substantive changes in this section are the extension of the section to agricultural lien transactions, which are included in Article 9 for the first time, and the specific exclusion of persons who are buyers of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or promissory notes from the application of the rights afforded to a debtor/seller (see section 9- 102(a)(28)) by this section. Otherwise the revision clarifies and resolves some of the issues that arose under former section 9-208 , and serves as the means to obtain information about the obligations secured and the collateral both before and after default. The value of the provision is well illustrated by First Nat. Bank and Trust Co. of Vinita v. Atlas Credit Corp., 417 F.2d 1081 (10th Cir. 1969).
Worthy of note is that the sanctions for violation are moved to section 9-625, and are increased.
